The document supports tribunals and international criminal investigations against the leadership of the Russian Federation and military for aggressive war, war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide.

The US Senate has again submitted a resolution recognizing Russia’s actions in Ukraine as genocide of the Ukrainian people. This was reported on Thursday, February 16, by the Voice of America, citing a message from the office of Senator Jim Rish from Idaho, who is a co-author of the resolution.

“A year has passed since the start of Putin’s brutal and unjust war against Ukraine, and it is becoming clear that Russia is committing genocide,” Risch said.

According to him, he “saw the atrocities with my own eyes” during a trip to Ukraine in June last year, and almost every day he “received new reports about the inhumane actions of Russian soldiers against innocent Ukrainian citizens.”

“The time has come for the US government to call it what it is and work with our allies to investigate and hold accountable those responsible for this brutality,” he added.

In the resolution, the senators called on the United States, along with NATO and EU allies, to “support the government of Ukraine to prevent further acts of genocide by Russia against the Ukrainian people.”

According to the lawmaker, this resolution, in particular, “supports tribunals and international criminal investigations to hold Russia’s political leaders and military personnel accountable for aggressive war, war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide.”

The resolution recognizing Russia’s actions as genocide on December 7 was supported by the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and it is ready for a vote in the Senate.

The resolution was co-sponsored by Republican Senator Rish and Democratic Senator Cardin. Besides them, the resolution was supported by 14 other senators from both parties. They introduced a similar resolution at the end of December last year, and as soon as the new Senate begins its work, the procedure is to resubmit the resolutions.

It will be recalled that bills recognizing Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism and recognizing Russia’s actions in Ukraine as genocide were submitted to the US Congress in October.
